It was one hell of a ride, good job PS3!
The console really turned it around and ended up being great, with it's library it can certainly stand proundly next to the other great consoles of the past. Personally I'll also fondly look back at my time with it.
RIP PS3. A console that I have had many good memories with, and that has been with me for most of my life.

PS3 is 7th - https://youtu.be/s7yKP49neDg?t=2m52s
X360 is 6th - https://youtu.be/s7yKP49neDg?t=3m40s
The last real home console for sure.
Most likely its last year of production then.
Guess that means its never breaking the 90m mark.

Actually, analysts still expected to outsell the Xbox 360 by 2011 but the Kinect slowed that down. They still caught up though.

Not surprising. Microsoft was so terrified of launching with the PS3 that they rushed the launch a year ahead. This is most likely what caused the faulty R&D which caused RROD and so many revisions of the 360. Microsoft realized the reason why Sony sells so much is because they have the bulk of the third party games exclusive, so they took that years head start to make a console that could play all of the top third party games smoothly. If you look at the numbers Microsoft had split the former marketshare of the PS2 which was about 160 million in half. Both consoles had over 80 million units sold by the end of the gen. Sony caught up because...well....Microsoft cannot stop them. Not only that but Sony gives gamers lasting reasons to invest in their console. The only surprise that Microsoft did not expect was a $600 PS3 which aided their years headstart, even though they had their own mess to clean up. If you notied last gen outside of Gears of War...the only highlights of Microsofts E3 were primarily when they took key third party exclusivity from Sony (ie: Final Fantasy, Tekken & Metal Gear Solid.). People literally lost their minds when those games lost exclusivity.
The Wii was the only true surprise of the gen. 80 million is below par for Sony. Thats a high for Microsoft.
